The Rank System is COMPLETELY Flawed
I'm stll new to the game, but I am getting a better handle on how to play as a Survivor main. but I do have to say the rank system is completely crap. If I get downed immediately & my team doesn't try to help me I get a point taken away causing me to go toward my rank being lowered. If I don't do enough my Rank doesn't move at all, even if I do 3 out of 4 things for example, I saved someone off a hook, healed 2 others & ran chases to the max from the killer which had a killer stun but at no point could I complete a gen & I saw no totums, so how is that right that I didn't gain anything from it?
I've been going from Rank 16 to 15 & back for over 2 weeks now as I tend to be the one to get tunneled & downed, not too mention I get matched with people who obviously do nothing else other than play this game (no offense on them, but if I simply play touch football & someone has an NFL player come at me, who's going to win?)
I work & do other things as well & while I enjoy the game stuff like the Rank system turns me off playing because I'm essentially getting punished for not winning when losing in itself is a punishment. I can see not gaining a rank point if you don't survive but losing a rank point is just wrong.
We already have to deal with little to no defenses, all we can do is run & most of the time the killers are faster & there's little you can do to maneuver away.
I do hope the developers see this & can at least consider a change in the rank, since I'm sure the survivors won't be able to do anything to fight back (like a bat) & I'm terrible with the flashlight & lately the pallets aren't going down causing me to get hit.

We are getting an MMR system soon so ranks will only be a BP incentive

uhhhh welcome to dbd?
Where attraction is easy but retention sucks. Is it no wonder the devs focus more on new chapters than bug fixes?

Rank is determined by the skill of the killer if all you do is die then the killer eats your rank if all you get to do is gens then the killer eats your rank.
You can only pip if you interact throughout the match with the killer and your team if you put on borrowed time and bond do gens when no-one else is, get saves when no-one else is I'm telling you pips will be achieved.
We'll make it and kindred are worth a look too teammates love efficiency and 100%+ heals.

Yeah I do have those perks & I tend to help others but they just leave me or they'll be dumb enough to unhook me when the killer's still there. The times when I am given a safe unhook is usually when I already went through most of the phases on my 1st hook
